What is "tactical" about this pen other than the name and the fact it is made from aluminum? Does it have any other features such as a glass breaker?

The pen is very sturdy and, while not "sharp," can penetrate a couple hundred pages of a phone book. I'm sure it would break glass as well. My primary purpose of carrying it is in case of a ground fight, where it could help gain space, compliance or shift odds in my favor. It is not a primary weapon but a solid tool in a pinch.

It's not just aluminum, it's very heavy duty aluminum. Harder than the bones in the rib cage, etc. I carry this whenever I go somewhere and I can't carry my pistol or knife (school, airplane, courthouse). It's better than your bare fist. It has no designed glass breaker but I wouldn't be surprised if it would break auto glass. I lost mine last week and will be ordering another one this weekend.

Blood groove in the point end. No glass breaker, but you could use it to break glass. It's a great pen I use Parker poilet .07 refilles.

This pen is designed to be a "hide in plain sight" personal defense item. It is noticeably heavier than a normal aluminum pen and the point is designed to puncture. The cap is a screw on type with a flat top to give somewhere for your thumb to sit and apply extra force. It could be used as a glass breaker, if you need it.

I have three theories on this: first, to allow the pen to be used in areas where the presence of a defense point can be seen as a security threat; second, to be exchanged with some other functionality by the same manufacturer; and third, a quirk of the manufacturing process. I'm not a fan of this decision, myself, since the tip tends to get loose.

It's a close up view of the end of the pen , it's pointed and used a striker. Not listed as a glass breaker but I am it could. Some of the other pens that have the same thing call it the DNA collecter, I assume if you hit someone hard enough there will be some type of biological stuck in it.

To be honest with you, I have bought 3 Gerber tactical pens but haven't bought any refills at this time. I did look for refills on-line but haven't bought any as of yet. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. Bryon D.

Yes. There is a plastic tube inside the metal body. The metal body is thinner than a .45 ACP casing. The pen body is definitely not solid stainless steel.

Hi glad to help if I can. I have the Skilcraft pen and it is a very good and useful pen. It is a single pen with a portion of the barrel that rotates to raise (and lower) three different writing tips; red ink, black ink and a mechanical pencil (.5mm). There is a useful eraser on the top - you just unscrew the cap to find the eraser.

Yes, the pen is all metal and has quite a bit of heft to it. It has a nice, solid look and feel.

BY THE WAY ... THIS IS THE BEST TACTICAL PEN OUT THERE (for many reasons) ... Purchase the FISHER SPACE PEN REPLACEMENT CARTRIGES and you will need to use the small (almost invisible) plastic adapter extension that comes with the FISHER Cartrige, so that it will fit this pen ... Be careful opening the FISHER package and do not lose the tiny adapter ... you fit the adapter to the rear of the cartridge and slide the whole thing into this S&W; Tactical Pen ... Writes upside-down, under water, in-the-rain, on most surfaces. ... This pen is the one to get.

Not at all. The pen is actually plastic inside. The metal on the outside is rather thin, and the only part with any real weight to it is the finger grip. I wouldn't worry about heft.

Fisher does make Space Pens with plastic barrels, but this one is metal. The pen is lightweight, but it is magnetic so it is proably steel. It is a very nice pen.

Not exactly sure what pen you're referring to (Amazon doesn't include the item in your request-that's kind of dumb). But anyway I looked over my history and the only pen I bought was a hunter green paint pen thing. If that's it, I used it to touch up a scraped up decal on my work truck. It is still on there and holding up so hopefully that helps.

No it does not , one end is a pen the other is a tip used to break glass .it's meant to extradite a person from a vehicle in a emergency.

The pen is made of a plastic tube. You control the flow by squeezing. No squeezing, no flow.

Yes it is. It's a deep carry pocket clip and has a rather thin clip too which allows really only a bit of the window breaker to show but it's very hard to see and the thin clip makes it look more like a pen. I have the knife on me every day as my edc "every day carry" blade and no one has asked about it.

I dropped my Metropolitan pen and the nib snapped in two. I checked the website, tried their chat customer service, and waited on hold to talk to a customer service rep who was pleasant and promised to email me info on replacement nibs. Her promises are yet to be kept, and there seem to be nary a nib on the market to make things right. There are high end replacement parts that are more expensive than the pen, so it seems this is a buy until it dies kind or item.

I haven't used my graphic pad in some time, so I'm looking for the pen right now. However, I'm about 90% certain it uses something like a AAA battery. The pen is fatter than a normal gel pen, and I'm pretty sure the size is to accommodate a battery.

This is the fatter/wider one. I own both types and I like the way this one feels in my hand. If you watch TLC's Medium, Teresa also uses the same exact pen-just an FYI if you wanted to see someone using it. I wish the seller would have been more descriptive, had I not have bought this one on the Plane going to Germany and seen it before hand, I wouldn't have been able to tell from the description or photo either. I hope this helps.
